Carys had some issues that caused her to push Cooper away (poor Cooper!). While I don't understand why she would do that, especially after being in love with him for long, I emphasize with what she was going through.

It was definitely cute to see Murph finally find someone he truly cared and fall head over heels. The way he was always wanting to see her, be around her and spend as much time together as they could. It truly showed a big change in him as a person, proving that it’s never too late to change. And that there was more to him than his appearance and how he carries himself on the outside. There is many obstacles in the way of Carys and Cooper being together, and there gets a point where there’s so much angst. I will say this, Cooper Sinclair is a dream and absolutely perfect! Carys and Cooper take us on an emotional journey of long term longing turned into secret love. Carys has had feelings for Cooper since she met him as her brother’s friend. Once he became her step-brother, when their parents married, she knew she had to keep her feelings to herself. That didn’t mean the feelings went away, and when they meet up one evening by chance, away from the one’s who know they shouldn’t be together, Carys finds out that her long hidden feelings may not be so one sided.From the moment D+A met, Sparks fly. Gazes collide whenever they meet afterwards. But nothing happens due to their busy lives...Until Dec asks her to be his date in the Senator's Fundraiser! It's the push they both needed, Precursor to a sweet friendship & a hot One-night-stand. A One-night-Only that leads to forever! Murphy surprised the hell out of me. He will totally win you over and you will be swoon. Sabrina we didn't get alot out of her from All In but she will blow your mind!.

Touchdown!! Bella just scored the game winner with this book! All In is the first book in the new series Kings of Kroydon Hills. This is Brady and Natalie's book.Murphy and Sabrina's story was so much more than I could have ever imagined. Bella Matthews wrote an incredibly beautiful, up and down rollercoaster of emotions, through all the feels, magnificent path for these two characters. The depth and the way she constructed their every day situations, gave way to two people who grew, matured, evolved, and figured out who they were as new adults coming of age. She made me laugh, cry (like ugly cry), get mad, think, swoon, identify with the characters, and need a fan with all the sexyness. Murphy and Sabrina burn with so much passion, desire, and love...believe me, it will make you want and need a red head man in your life 😉! I just loved how easy it was for Cooper & Carys to come together. When they admitted the feelings they’ve had for years, I was so happy. They are the perfect match! They both navigate being in a relationship for the first time and learn what it feels to be committed and in love together. They fight for their relationship and stand their ground, with all the little hiccups that are thrown their way. I loved getting to know Carys. She is mentioned in previous books (obviously the younger sister of Murphy) but we get to know her full on in this book as she is the FMC. I loved her want to get out from the need to be protected by everyone and wanting to be an independent grown woman. She stands up for herself and makes it known that she is not the little girl everyone keeps seeing her as. Especially with her big brother. The medical diagnosis.. wow. That was definitely something I didn't see coming. I honestly thought it was something far worst (not that her diagnosis isn't bad) but this whole thing really messes things up and leads to Carys pushing away the only man she truly loves and the man who is fighting for them to be together. Also, who knew Carys was a little freak with a breath play, praise and pain/pleasure kink? I like how solid the main friend group was in this story, but how openly they welcomed Cooper's sister into the mix. I was also impressed with how the author was able to write a character like Tiffany. I think us women will all recognize someone we know or knew who is a bit like her. The boys on the football team are all quirky and fun to get to know as well.
